[parisc-linux] Re: tftp boot

[Richard Muratti]

Joel,

hear's my setup

/etc/inetd.conf
tftp    dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.tftpd
bootps  dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  bootpd -d 4

/etc/bootptab
c3000:hd=/tftpboot:bf=lifimage:ht=ether:ha=xxxxxxxx7368:sm=255.255.255.0:hn:ip=xxx.xx.xx.10:vm=rfc1048
alpha:hd=/tftpboot:bf=tftpboot.img:ht=ether:ha=xxxxxxxx33f6:sm=255.255.255.0:hn:ip=xxx.xx.xx.9:vm=rfc1048

/etc/exports
/tftpboot/c3000 c3000(rw,no_root_squash)

/etc/hosts
xxx.xx.xx.10    c3000   c3000

You must add you host to the hosts file for nfs export to work

ls tftpboot
System.map-20010115            lifimage 
nfsroot-20001009.tar.gz  vmlinux-20010201
System.map-32-serial-20010418  lifimage-20010115            tftpboot.img 
          vmlinux-32-serial-20010418
c3000                          lifimage_32_serial_20010418  vmlinux-20010115

ls /tftpboot/c3000
bin  boot  cdrom  dev  etc  floppy  home  initrd  lib  mnt  proc  root 
sbin  tmp  usr  var

I used one of the latest tar balls of the parisc-linux site ie I untarred 
nfsroot-20001009.tar.gz
into the c3000 dir.


ON the C3000
boot lan
Interact with IPL
Y

make sure the following is setup
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=IP_ADDRESS_OF_NFS_SERVER:/tftpboot/c3000

I'm using the above to netboot a C3000 from an i386


Hope this helps.

Cheers
Rick
